Weird problem. Google pages are not loading on this computer. Google news UK is OK. Google.co.uk is OK. Google.com is not.
This is consistent across all browsers. The problem does not exist on other computers linked to this router. Pages that call google.com freeze. Restarting the wifi connection usually resolves the problem. Changing the wifi adaptor does not resolve the issue.
Any ideas gratefully received!

Did you check whether you could ping google.com when this happens? If not, in a console do:
ping -c 5 google.com
This tells you whether your computer can communicate with google.com, so if you don’t get a ping reply it would suggest the problem being somewhere else other than in your bowser(s), e.g. dns
If you can open the google.com site directly by it’s ip address which is 173.194.34.160 then that would make the problem more likely to be a dns issue

I had that problem (in Australia) yesterday. It cleared by this morning.
I couldn’t get Yahoo either. I cleared the cache and cookies, that
didn’t help. I tried four different browsers, no change. I tried two
computers, no change. I rebooted the modem and router, no change.
I went to bed and it was working fine in the morning.
Sounds like interference by nefarious parties, a prelim to an attack on
world communications perhaps? If all the search engines went down, what
a mess the world would be in!

Ping is normal. Have cleared cache etc. Google calendar was working normally ten minutes ago, now will not load.
Could well be as swerdna said then and the issue might not be at your end at all, might be worth asking if anyone else in your area is having the same problem
Except, as I said above, it is not happening on another Suse OS machine and a M$ machine linked to the same router…
I just wish it was reproducible, but it is intermittent and seems to happen after an hour or so of being on-line.

Have you rebooted the router (and if there is a separate modem, the
modem too)?

Yes, several times. Been away for the weekend, so everything should be nice and stable - i.e. router not used but on. Now, google.co.uk is fine, google.com won’t load, neither will calendar or gmail. Beyond me…
